Description
Our Felex rug is a large woven floor covering in natural seagrass and corn husk, 260cm long and 180cm wide. Broad stripes run across its width, and they come from texture as much as tone: flat bands of fine, close weave alternate with chunkier braided bands, some lighter and some darker. Seagrass is a firm, hard-wearing fibre, and paired with corn husk it gives the rug a surface with real depth and an easy, relaxed character. At this size it is a main rug for a room rather than a mat for a doorway.
Lay it in a living room beneath a coffee table, with a sofa and armchairs drawn up around its edges, or in a dining area, where it is large enough to sit under a table and its chairs. The natural tone and woven texture sit comfortably with rattan, bamboo and pale wood furniture, white or soft painted walls and plenty of cushions and throws. It suits a relaxed, lived-in home that leans towards natural materials, and it brings warmth to a bare floor of boards or tiles without adding pattern that competes with the rest of the room.
The rug has a woven finish and weighs 6.8KG, which is worth knowing before you carry it upstairs. Care is simple: it is not to be washed and not to be ironed, so it never goes in the washing machine. We like it under a wooden dining table, where the texture shows between the chair legs. For styling, decide first whether you want the stripes to run towards the sofa or across it, then leave an even border of floor showing around the rug so the room feels settled.
